As far as I can tell, I was the only one downvoting gwern. And the fact that people want to avoid being called "whiny" is one of the most powerful weapons that bullies have. If you have some specific critique of my complaint, that's one thing, but your label of "whiny" seems to be based on nothing but the fact that low status accrues to asserting that one has been wronged. Now, is that a social norm that you approve of? If so, why?
